Why did Zhang Wei's face change so much?

The reason is very simple, that is, he thinks Ma Chao is too reckless.

Although Yinping County currently has an army of 5,000 people, Mi Yang does not want the gains and losses of Yinping County.

He asked the Liang army to block the main road for the Wei army to attack Jiangyou Pass.

To achieve this, the 5,000 Liang army was bound to go to various mountain roads to guard it.

After all, the Wei army has a large number of people, if Guo Huai uses the advantage of numbers to surround Yinping without fighting, and then lead elite troops to attack the main road behind Yinping, then the task given to him by Mi Yang will be considered a failure.

When Sun Quan led 100,000 Wu troops to besiege the public security, Lu Xun offered a plan for him to lead an elite army to bypass the public security and attack the back of Jingzhou.

It's a pity that Sun Quan didn't adopt Lu Xun's strategy, otherwise it is not known who will win and who will lose in the first battle of the public security.

Five thousand defenders are not enough to garrison the entire territory of Yinping, not to mention that now Ma Chao wants to take away three thousand elites?

What if Ma Chao was able to defeat the vanguard of the Wei army led by Jiang Wei?

With the strength in Guo Huai's hands, he can send another vanguard at any time, but if Ma Chao fails, it will undoubtedly be a catastrophe for Yin Ping.

After dissuading Ma Chao with words, Zhang Wei tried his best to use respectful words to explain his concerns to Ma Chao.

And Ma Chao couldn't help laughing out loud after listening to Zhang Wei's worries.

He explained to Zhang Wei: "Boqi only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other.

The vanguard has always been the elite division of the army, and the vanguard army is not only to open the way for the rear army, but also to be the courage of the rear army.

Today, Wei led tens of thousands of troops to invade our Liangzhou, because of its large number of troops, which caused their morale to be strong.

There is a saying in the art of war: those who are vigorous are undefeated.

If our army withers and allows the thief army to wipe out the military capital, then the morale of the thief army will undoubtedly be more vigorous, and at that time it will be more difficult for our army to defend the city.

Our army is weak, so we can't fight this battle step by step.

I want to lead the army into Wudu, one is to choose the opportunity to defeat the enemy's vanguard and lose the hearts of the enemy's army, and the other is to encourage the Qiang people in Wudu County to rebel against the thief army.

Either of these things will slow down the thieves' march so that our army will have more time to prepare.

Preemptively, that's exactly what happened. ”

Ma Chao knew that Zhang Wei was Mi Yang's favorite general, so Ma Chao patiently explained his intentions to Zhang Wei.

But after listening to Ma Chao's explanation, Zhang Wei still had doubts.

Although he also knew that Ma Chao had always been famous among the Qiangqi people, several years had passed since Ma Chao crossed Liangzhou.

In such a long period of time, how much prestige is left of Ma Chao among the Qiang people?

You know, aliens are known for their perfidy.

It's just that Zhang Wei didn't say anything about this concern, he saw that he couldn't convince Ma Chao, so he carried Mi Yang out.

"When the shepherd appointed me to be stationed in Yinping, he instructed me to be a garrison in Yinping.

If the hussar general wants to divide his troops to Wudu, it is better to send a cavalry to quickly turn back to Nanzheng, report the matter to Mu Bo, and then listen to his decision. ”

Seeing that Zhang Wei moved Mi Yang out, Ma Chao did not have any displeasure.

For Ma Chao, who is often abused, Zhang Wei's attitude is already very good.

But Ma Chao couldn't agree with Zhang Wei's suggestion.

Ma Chaozheng said: "The vanguard of the enemy army has arrived in Wudu, and there are many Qiang leaders in Wudu who are inclined to oppose Wei.

If I don't lead the army into Wudu County in time, the enemy vanguard, with the support of some local Qiang leaders, is likely to control Wudu County in a short time.

If Wudu County is controlled by the enemy, what is the use of the final champion Hou agreeing to my strategy?

Besides, since the champion Hou uses me and believes in me, why do you need to do such a senseless thing? ”

When saying this, Ma Chao's words exuded strong confidence.

Because of the appeal in his heart, because he admires Mi Yang's personality, Ma Chao doesn't mind him accepting Mi Yang's command.

But since he is willing to be driven by Mi Yang, then Mi Yang should naturally trust him, if everything needs to be reported, everything must be intervened, the pride in Ma Chao's heart will not allow this kind of thing to happen.

After saying this, Ma Chao announced directly to Zhang Wei: "You don't need to say much, champion Hou Youyan, when I lead the army to Yinping, all the armies inside and outside Yinping will be controlled by me."

I have the warrant of the champion in my hand, and if you don't believe it, you can check it. ”

Seeing Ma Chao say this, Zhang Wei instantly lost his words to refute.

Why bother checking the warrant, long before Ma Chao arrived in Yinping, the warrant from the state capital had been sent to Zhang Wei, and Zhang Wei naturally knew that everything Ma Chao said was true.

After seeing that Zhang Wei no longer dissuaded him, Ma Chao turned around and walked down the city wall and said:

"In half an hour, I will see an army of three thousand waiting for me outside the city.

Everyone in the world says that the Liangzhou army is the elite of the world, and it must not be difficult to do this. ”

The 2,000 Liangzhou troops led by Ma Chao had just arrived in Yinping, and they were definitely not suitable for another expedition after a long journey along the way.

Therefore, what Ma Chao wanted to lead was the 3,000 Liangzhou troops brought by Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei saw that Ma Chao's attitude was so decisive, because of the military orders, he could only bow down and receive the order.

However, after asking people to arrange the departure of the army, Zhang Wei sent a messenger to rush towards Nanzheng for the sake of safety.

Now the only one who can stop Ma Chao is Mi Yang.

Even if Ma Chao doesn't listen to Mi Yang, as long as Mi Yang's warrant arrives, the Liangzhou army, which is completely loyal to Mi Yang, will naturally know which side to stand on.

The military reform carried out by Mi Yang in Liangzhou at the beginning had already fundamentally put an end to the fact that generals were not subject to military orders abroad.

Just when Ma Chao led the army towards Wudu County, Jiang Wei, who was Guo Huai's pioneer general, had already led three thousand Wei troops into Wudu County.

Because of Yang Fu's previous request, Guo Huai still attaches great importance to Jiang Wei.

After Jiang Wei was included in Guo Huai's army, Guo Huai immediately went to Cao Zhen to appoint Jiang Wei as the captain of the school.

Although Jiang Wei was also a lieutenant when he was under Yang Fu before, in terms of the current system, any title with the word "requisition" in the name must be the top-level existence of its rank.

In other words, Jiang Wei, who is twenty years old, has not made any contributions, and he has been in the process of promotion.

This is the benefit of being a child of a family.

Of course, Guo Huai can appoint Jiang Wei as his vanguard general, not just because of the interpersonal relationships behind Jiang Wei.

During the march of more than half a month, Guo Huai had specially inspected Jiang Wei several times, and he found that Jiang Wei had real materials.

The children of the family always have a love for each other.

After discovering that Jiang Wei was not in vain, Guo Huai tried his best to override public opinion and let Jiang Wei serve as the vanguard of the Western Route Army.

Compared with the appointment of Captain Jiang Wei, this position is what Guo Huai values Jiang Wei.

The great battles in the history books are like gold, but basically the names of the pioneer generals will be recorded, which can be seen from this point that in ancient wars, the importance of the vanguard generals to their own army.

It can be said that in today's high-profile war, Jiang Wei, who is the vanguard general of the Wei Army's Western Route Army, already has the capital to record his name in the history books.

And how the history books will write him in the future depends on how well he behaves as a pioneer general.

With Jiang Wei's intelligence, how could he not understand this?

Jiang Wei, who has great ambitions, has long secretly vowed in his heart that he will seize this opportunity to become famous in the world.

Due to the ambition in his heart, Jiang Wei did not take the enemy lightly along the way after leading the three thousand vanguard Wei troops to leave the rear army.

If it was an ordinary vanguard general, knowing that he had tens of thousands of troops behind him, and then knowing that the enemy did not have any extra troops to defend Wudu County, it is estimated that he would have been impatient to march in a hurry, thinking about making meritorious contributions.

But Jiang Wei didn't.

Since entering Wudu County, every time he passes through a mountain range, Jiang Wei is bound to carefully send people to probe in advance to find out if there are ambushes.

Jiang Wei's cautious attitude not only slowed down the march somewhat, but also attracted ridicule from some people in the army.

The 3,000 pioneers under Jiang Wei were sent to him by Guo Huai.

These 3,000 vanguard troops will obey Jiang Wei's orders, but it would be complete nonsense to make them have respect for this young man who came from the airborne.

Some gossip soon reached Jiang Wei's ears through the mouths of those dead soldiers raised by Jiang Wei.

After those dead soldiers reported this incident to Jiang Wei, they also advised Jiang Wei not to be too careful, but Jiang Wei was still unmoved.

Mi Yang's two words, it is necessary for him to be so cautious.

Perhaps judging from common sense, Mi Yang will most likely not send a large army into Wudu County at this time, but Mi Yang has always been good at using strange soldiers, and no one can guarantee how he will use his troops.

Since Mi Yang's actions are like a fog that cannot be seen clearly, it is absolutely right to be cautious.

Since most of Guo Huai's army set off from Chen Cang, his army took the route from Sanguan to Wudu County.

After Guo Huai led the army into Sanguan, he ordered Jiang Wei to be the vanguard and take the lead to explore the way for the army.

The mountains in Wudu County are all over the place, the terrain is already rugged and difficult to walk, coupled with Jiang Wei's cautious marching style, so Jiang Wei's army walked for several days in a row before it could reach Hechi County, which was only a few dozen miles away.

When Jiang Wei's army arrived in Hechi County, he ordered the whole army to be stationed.

It's not that he's found anything dangerous, he's waiting for an army.

On the second day when Jiang Wei led the army to be stationed in Hechi County, a large army came from afar from the direction of Xiazhi.

The number of that army should be in the thousands, although there were quite a few of them, their formation was chaotic, and they were not wearing armor, but animal skins.

The most important thing is that the appearance of the soldiers of that army is somewhat different from that of the Han Chinese, and there is a taste of mixed blood of later generations.

When such an army appeared outside Hechi County, anyone in the land of Yongliang could recognize them - this army was composed of Qiang alien races!

The scout quickly reported this information to Jiang Wei.

In Wudu County, the Qiang and Di tribes live in impermanence, some tribes are oriented to the Great Wei, and some tribes are oriented to the Han Dynasty.

The scout couldn't tell which kind of alien army this alien army belonged to, so he had a worried look on his face when he reported the incident.

But after Jiang Wei learned the news, he didn't panic.

He learned from the scout's mouth who the leader of this army was, it was a well-known king of Yinping County.

The strong end of this person may be unknown in the world, but his reputation in this Liangyi area is not small.

And one of the most famous things he did was that during the battle of Xiazhu, he temporarily rebelled against the water and Ma Chao and led the army to attack the Han army.

As a result, the Han army was defeated in the Battle of Xiafen, and generals such as Wu Lan and Lei Tong died in that battle.

It can be said that the strong end has offended the Han army to death.

It is precisely because of this that Qiangduan has become a staunch pro-Wei force since then.

These are all what Jiang Wei told him before he set off.

Guo Huai also told Jiang Wei that he had sent someone to contact Qiangduan in advance, and the two sides agreed to meet in Hechi County.

It is precisely knowing this that Jiang Wei will lead the army to be stationed outside Hechi County.

But although he knew that Qiangduan was now his ally, Jiang Wei had no good impression of Qiangduan.

The reason is very simple, Jiang Wei's biological father died in the Qiang Rebellion.

This makes Jiang Wei Neng have a good impression of the strong end, which is strange.

However, Jiang Wei also knows that now is the time to focus on the overall situation.

So after learning that Qiangduan was coming, Jiang Wei still got up and went out to greet Qiangduan's arrival.

Soon after, the camp gate of the Wei army opened, and Jiang Wei jumped out of the camp gate with more than a dozen relatives and came to the open space outside the camp to wait for the arrival of the strong end.

After seeing someone in the Wei army's camp coming out, Qiangduan, who was not far away, also immediately rode his horse towards Jiang Wei's location.

It's just that before leaving, he brought twice as many people as Jiang Wei with him.

The one who harms others is always afraid that others will harm him as well.

Since the distance between the two was not too far at this time, Qiang Duan quickly rode his horse in front of Jiang Wei.

The strong end drove the horse to a stop three steps in front of Jiang Wei, which was a safe distance for both parties.

After the horses stopped, Qiang Duan said to Jiang Wei in awkward Chinese: "Because Yin Ping has come here for a long time, this king has delayed the time, and I hope that the general will be mistaken." ”

When Qiang Duan said this, he also learned from the Huaxia scholars to bow to Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei couldn't help laughing in his heart when he looked at Qiang Duan's behavior of being a monkey, but he didn't show it on the surface.

He just replied lightly, and then asked Qiang Duan directly: "How many troops have you brought this time?" ”

Facing Jiang Wei's inquiry, a look of pride appeared on Qiangduan's face, "There are five thousand erlangs, which is enough to help the general level Wudu." ”

The self-confidence of the strong end really made Jiang Wei pay a little attention to him.

Wudu County is almost in a state of separation, and each county is almost a foreign race's domain, but this does not mean that every foreign race is very strong.

From the information collected before, it can be seen that the strongest alien force in Wudu County is currently only 4,000 troops.

If he can gather these five thousand strong troops, then his army will be nearly ten thousand.

This force is indeed capable of sweeping away any alien force in Wudu County.

It's just that just as Jiang Wei was thinking about what to do next, a Di man quickly ran from the rear to Qiangduan's side and whispered a few words to him.

After listening to these whispers, Qiangduan's face changed greatly.

Seeing this, Jiang Wei hurriedly asked Qiang Duan, "What happened?" ”

Under Jiang Wei's inquiry, Qiang Dun said in a solemn tone: "He's here." ”

He's coming?

Who is here to make the strong end so worried, it can't be Mi Yang.

Puzzled, Jiang Wei continued to ask, "Who is it?" ”

Facing Jiang Wei's inquiring gaze, Qiang Duan took a deep breath and said, "General Shenweitian, Ma Mengqi!" ”

There's another chapter in a minute!
